  You're not supposed to contact Ex-JWs children at all?

  by Hairyhegoat in

  the society has been cracking down hard on parents having contact with children who have left.

  for a long time, it was kind of a "wink-wink" thing with the "necessary family business" loophole, and a lot of families found some relief with that.. but in the latest magazines and assembly parts, they're making it crystal-clear that pretty much nothing except a death in the family counts as "necessary family business".

  and even then, you probably wouldn't be invited to the funeral.. the key is, they don't actually define what "necessary family business" is in the article.

  Is there a Christian message without the element of fear/perceived threat?

  by nvrgnbk in

  so many christians highlight love and mercy as the main point of their religion.. that's undeniably appealing.. but is it true to christianity?.

  in the end, isn't the belief all about escaping god's violent wrath?

  aren't those that are unable to accept the system's contradictions and absurdities promised suffering and eventual destruction as punishment for their disbelief?.

  Got a Visit Yesterday

  i was at home last night, fixing some 8-track tapes, when i got a knock at the door.

  the wife is out of town, so i'm wondering who the hell is knocking on my door.. i opened it, and there was my mother and another lady from my old congregation.

  this lady is one of the few genuinely good people in the congregation.

  Putting the world on notice! Like anyone cared!

  i remember a few district conventions, and some parts in the witness history books, that had these leaders of the witnesses claiming to put the world on notice.

  what a joke, did they actually have some warped idea that government leaders were actually paying attention to them and shaking in their boots.

  i would doubt that their words even made it beyond the neighborhoods we preached in and unless the mayor of that small town was behind one of those doors, it was unlikely that anyone in government cared or listened.
